Synopsis "Puente (in Spanish)"

Sin historias, no hay ningún mundo. Y esta historia es sobre dos mundos diferentes, separados por una grieta. En los días en que empezó la historia, el pueblo se alzaba a espaldas del Pozo Largo, como si el Pozo no estuviera ahí, como si no existiera. Se decía que, una vez, alguien había bajado hasta el fondo, pero era solamente una leyenda, nadie había vuelto a subir. No parecía una leyenda importante. En ese pueblo, hasta la noche del espanto, la vida de los nuevos parecía buena.Este libro está pensado para niños a partir de 13 años.
